Take Action

Today's fellowship on the vital group and the need to take action in contacting people is very timely. In fact, this is what I need today. The truth and practice of the vital group have been heard and known at least doctrinally, but now is the time to take action. Othersiws, all the truths will just remain as it is, and nothing will happen.

Brother Witness Lee gave testimony that some thirty years ago he took action before the Lord not knowing what would happen. But as he took action and moved to the USA, the Lord raised up many local saints to migrate and took the way of the Lord's recovery.

Some excerpts from his speaking:

TAKE ACTION

You should just take action. The result depends upon His blessing. Throughout the years this has been my loving prayer: “Lord, I trust in Your mercy. I trust in Your blessing. I trust in Your presence. I trust in Your word. I trust in Your Spirit. I don’t have any trust at all in myself, in anything else, or in anyone else.” We all need to pray such a prayer. 

CONTACT PEOPLE 

We must have an interest in people. We must love people and like to talk to people. Doing and learning. Always contact people in a spirit of prayer.  In order to live a normal Christian life, three things are very much needed: (1) seeking after the Lord, (2) coming to the meetings, and (3) going to contact people. 

This timely speaking of the Lord applies to me in many aspects, not limiting to the church services that I am involved in. But it is also the timely speaking of the Lord for my official service as I always considered and reconsidered before taking any action. I need to carefully consider every decision I would make and any action I would take. But that should not weigh me down, making me a mute spectator of the present situation. I need to take timely action. In fact, I am learning this lesson as well in coordination with the saints serving with me. The same applies to my family matter in taking care of my children and the family members with me.

But the people who know their God will show strength and take action. Daniel 11:32b

I thank the Lord, He is speaking to me and leading me day by day to take action. Praise the Lord!
